Frequently Asked Questions
Is this holster truly ambidextrous, and how do I switch between left- and right-hand carry?
Yes, the BLACKHAWK A.R.C. is fully ambidextrous. The holster body and belt clips are designed to be repositioned so that the draw stroke is natural for either hand. Simply reattach the belt clips to the opposite side of the holster body — no tools or additional hardware required — to switch between right- and left-hand carry.
Will this holster fit my Glock 43X or other compact pistols?
The A.R.C. IWB Holster is specifically fitted for the Glock 43 and Springfield Hellcat. While some similarly sized subcompact pistols may fit loosely, BLACKHAWK designs its holsters to precise firearm-specific tolerances for safe retention. We recommend verifying fitment with your specific firearm before purchase; using a holster not rated for your pistol can compromise retention and safety.
How do I adjust the retention on the BLACKHAWK A.R.C. holster?
The A.R.C. features an adjustable retention detent — typically a set screw accessible on the holster body. Tightening the screw increases resistance on the draw, while loosening it allows a smoother, faster presentation. Start with the factory setting, holster and draw your unloaded firearm several times, and fine-tune until you find a retention level that holds the pistol securely without slowing your draw under pressure.
